Title: Best Anti-Virus?
Post by: Robbojlr on 09/12/2011, 02:57 PM
My norton has ran out after 3years and my free avg trial runs out in 2 days.

Just wondering if I should stick with Norton 360 (buy it again) or buy another one (like AVG)

Just my advice, (not experienced at all in any fields of computers) Just use Microsoft Security essentials if you need a anti virus program and ad blocker, and you can't go wrong I mean I've done the lot and not got a virus or along the lines. I don't want to go to specifics on fear of looking/sound like a perv but you get the picture.

Someone will shortly be along to laugh at Norton security due to the fact it isn't very good. Sammy usually gives it a good bash..

I use AVG and a lot of guys here do, it is very good, free and works a treat.


EDIT: hahaha told you!

it's not the best one but its better than norton

MSE/Avast+ malaware bytes.

there is a tool for techs/sysadmins/anyone in IT worth a damn called TRK look into that next time a virus runs rampant and you cant boot windows....

Norton runs like a dog.
Ive heard PCCILLIAN (from Trend Micro) runs really well

Could always try the free Panda Cloud based antivirus?

Guys i think the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and ESET Node-32 Work a Treat but it is really up to you

I've used Kaspersky and CA, both turned out to be a crap for different reasons, now I've swapped to MSE, so far so good.

Avast and Malwarebytes work for me but up to you in preference.
